Taylor Frankie Paul dealt new custody battle blow as she fails multiple drug tests: report

Taylor Frankie Paul, a star of "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives", recently faced a setback in her custody battle after failing multiple drug tests ordered by the court. The substance involved was not specified but reportedly not available as a prescription medication. As a result, her parenting time with her three children—Indy (8), Ocean (6), and Ever (2)—was reduced to eight hours per week. Specifically, she is allowed four hours each with Indy and Ocean and another four hours with Ever.

This decision came after a July 8 court hearing where Taylor's custody rights had previously been expanded to include one weekday and alternating weekends. The current reduction indicates that Taylor's ability to care for her children under supervision has now been severely limited by the judge. A source close to the case revealed that there is a strict gag order in place, discouraging further media leaks as they are seen as part of an ongoing harassment campaign against Taylor.

The controversy around these custody battles highlights the serious impact of substance misuse on child welfare and underscores the legal system's cautionary measures for ensuring children’s safety.
